Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of incubators, and in particular to a microbial programmed biochemical incubator. Background Technology

[0002] Biochemical incubators are equipped with temperature control devices. Once the incubator is turned on and the temperature is set, the temperature sensor starts working, monitoring the temperature inside the incubator in real time. If the temperature inside the incubator is lower than the set temperature, the control system will activate the heating device, using current to generate heat through the heating wire to raise the temperature inside the incubator. If the temperature inside the incubator is higher than the set temperature, the compressor of the cooling device starts working, absorbing heat from inside the incubator and dissipating it outside through refrigerant circulation, thereby lowering the temperature inside the incubator. When the temperature approaches the set value, the heating or cooling device will make fine adjustments based on the signals fed back from the sensor to maintain a stable temperature environment.

[0003] Furthermore, the existing Chinese patent publication number CN216837936U discloses a biochemical incubator for laboratory testing. However, this patent has the following shortcomings in practical use:

[0004] First, when the incubator body is opened, the microbial culture chamber inside the incubator body will come into contact with the outside air. Because the air contains some other substances, it will affect the microorganisms in the culture chamber. At the same time, the temperature inside the incubator body will change rapidly. Too rapid a temperature change will also affect the microorganisms in the culture chamber. Therefore, this solution proposes a microbial programmed biochemical incubator. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues of other substances in the air affecting microorganisms in the culture chamber, and rapid temperature changes also impacting microorganisms, this application provides a microbial programmed biochemical incubator.

[0006] The microbial programmed biochemical incubator provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A microbial programmed biochemical incubator includes an incubator body, with a partition A fixedly disposed in the middle of the incubator body. The incubator body and partition A are combined to form a culture chamber for culturing microorganisms. A partition B is fixedly disposed in the incubator body near the front. The partition B, partition A, and incubator body are combined to form an observation chamber for observation. Multiple horizontal plates are movably connected through one side of partition A. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple horizontal plates. A storage plate is fixedly connected to one side of the multiple connecting blocks. The storage plate is movably connected through partition A.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a dedicated culture chamber is divided by the main body of the incubator and partition A, providing a relatively independent and stable space for microbial culture. Partition B, together with partition A and the main body of the incubator, forms an observation chamber. This design allows users to observe the growth status of the culture without disturbing the microbial culture environment. A horizontal plate moves through partition A and is connected to a connecting block at one end, which in turn is connected to a shelf. This structure allows the shelf to be flexibly adjusted in the culture chamber. The shelf is used to store microbial cultures, providing a stable placement platform for the cultures.

[0009] Preferably, multiple sealing gaskets are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the front side of partition A, and the outer surface of the multiple sealing gaskets is provided with downward slope. A connection hole is provided on the bottom side of the incubator body located below partition A, and a sealing ring is movably passed through the horizontal plate and fixedly connected to partition A on its inner surface.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the sealing gasket and sealing ring can prevent gas leakage, and the opening of the connection hole can allow the airflow generated by the bottom device to transfer the temperature into the culture chamber.

[0011] Preferably, multiple fixing blocks are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the front side of the partition A above the sealing gasket, and sealing blocks for fitting against the outer side of the sealing gasket are hinged at both ends of the multiple fixing blocks.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing block and the sealing gasket can be abutted and fitted together to seal the connection hole on partition A.

[0013] Preferably, a heat dissipation vent is provided on the lower front side of the incubator body, a door panel is provided on the upper front side of the incubator body, a display is fixedly installed on the middle of one side of the back of the door panel and on the upper front side of the door panel, and an air exchange hole is provided on the lower front side of the door panel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of heat dissipation vents can dissipate heat for the internal equipment, and the display can show the air temperature inside the incubator.

[0015] Preferably, the inner side of the incubator body is in contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of partition A and partition B.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, no gaps will be generated at the connection between the installation of partition A and partition B and the main body of the incubator, thus ensuring airtightness.

[0017] Preferably, the end of the shelf near the partition A is curved, one end of the shelf is attached to the inner side of the sealing block, and the side of the shelf away from the partition A is attached to the inner side of the incubator body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved end of the shelf can reduce friction during the process of lifting the sealing block.

[0019] Preferably, a sealing frame is provided on the outer side of the partition B, and a transparent panel is hinged inside the sealing frame. A handle is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the transparent panel, and a base plate is fixedly installed in the lower middle of the front of the transparent panel. A fan is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, and a filter box is fixedly connected to the output end of the fan. A filter screen is fixedly installed inside the filter box, and one side of the filter box is connected to the transparent panel through a pipe.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan, as a power source, can drive airflow, and the filter screen in the filter box can filter the air.

[0021] Preferably, a magnetic block is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of the transparent panel, and a one-way valve is fixedly installed on the front side of the transparent panel near the bottom plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation of the one-way valve can ensure that the airflow can flow in one direction, and the installation of the magnetic block can fix the transparent panel.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Due to the special structure and movement of the shelf, when the shelf is pushed into the observation chamber to remove the storage vessel, one end of the shelf can block the rectangular hole on the partition, which can greatly reduce the amount of external air entering the culture chamber, reduce the impact on the microorganisms in the culture chamber, and help maintain a good culture environment for the microorganisms in the culture chamber.

[0025] 2. Equipped with components such as a fan, filter box, filter screen, and one-way valve, it can filter the outside air entering the observation chamber and discharge the contaminated gas inside the observation chamber after the transparent panel is closed at the end of the operation, ensuring the cleanliness of the air inside the observation chamber and facilitating subsequent related operations and observations.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] The device's "up, down, left, right" perspectives are... Figure 1 The orientation of the attached diagram is the reference.

[0037] This application discloses a microbial programmed biochemical incubator.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a microbial programmed biochemical incubator includes an incubator body 1. Inside the incubator body 1, near the center, a partition A2 with its side surface fixedly connected to the inner side of the incubator body 1 is fixedly installed. The incubator body 1 and the partition A2 together form a sealed culture chamber 6 for cultivating microorganisms. Inside the incubator body 1, near the front, a partition B7 with its side surface fixedly connected to the inner side of the incubator body 1 is fixedly installed. The partition B7, the partition A2, and the incubator body 1 are combined to form an observation chamber 8 for observation. The partition A2 is located on one side of the observation chamber 8 and is movably connected to multiple horizontal plates 3. One end of each horizontal plate 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 4. One side of each connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to a shelf 5 for storing items. The partition A2 has a rectangular hole, and the shelf 5 is movably connected to the rectangular hole on the partition A2.

[0039] Partition A2 is installed and welded inside the incubator body 1, thereby combining the incubator body 1 and partition A2 to construct a sealed culture chamber 6 for cultivating microorganisms. Then, partition B7 is welded inside the incubator body 1, thereby combining partition B7, partition A2, and the incubator body 1 to form an observation chamber 8 for observation. By pulling one end of the horizontal plate 3, the connecting block 4 and the shelf 5 can be moved horizontally, so that the shelf 5 can hold the storage container for culturing microorganisms.

[0040] Reference Figures 2-4 As shown, multiple sealing gaskets 9 with the same diameter as the rectangular hole are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the front side of partition A2 at the rectangular hole. The outer surface of the multiple sealing gaskets 9 has a downward 15-degree slope. Multiple connecting holes 106 communicating with the bottom of the incubator body 1 are opened on the side below partition A2. A sealing ring 301 movably passes through the horizontal plate 3, and one side of the sealing ring 301 is fixedly connected to partition A2. Multiple fixing blocks 10 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the front side of partition A2 above the rectangular hole. The multiple fixing blocks 10 have round holes. Sealing blocks 11 are hinged at both ends of the incubator body 1. The sealing blocks 11 are attached to the outer side of the sealing gasket 9. A heat dissipation vent 101 is provided on the lower front of the incubator body 1, which communicates with the lower internal cavity of the incubator body 1. A door panel 102 is hinged to the upper front of the incubator body 1. A display 103 is installed on the upper side of the front of the door panel 102. A ventilation hole 104 is provided on the lower side of the front of the door panel 102. Universal wheels 105 for movement are symmetrically fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the incubator body 1. The outer peripheral surfaces of partitions A2 and B7 are attached to the inner side of the incubator body 1.

[0041] By pulling one end of the horizontal plate 3, the connecting block 4 and the shelf 5 can be moved horizontally, allowing the shelf 5 to pass through the rectangular hole on the partition A2, thereby lifting the sealing block 11 and separating it from the sealing gasket 9. This pushes the shelf 5 into the observation chamber 8. The door panel 102 can seal the incubator body 1, forming a storage space. The display 103 can display the temperature inside the incubator body 1 at all times. The installation of the ventilation hole 104 allows for airflow. The casters 105 allow the incubator body 1 to be moved. The outer surfaces of the partitions A2 and B7 are fitted to the inner surfaces of the incubator body 1, which can prevent gaps and prevent leakage.

[0042] (It should be noted that the incubator body 1 is equipped with temperature control devices and a display 103. The temperature control devices are all existing technologies, and the external control devices are connected in existing and mature technologies. Therefore, the specific connection relationship will not be described in detail. Existing connection assemblies can be installed for use. The heat dissipation vent 101 in the lower cavity of the incubator body 1 is used to dissipate heat for these temperature control devices during operation.)

[0043] Reference Figures 3-5 As shown, the end of the shelf 5 near the partition A2 has a 45-degree upward arc. In the normal state, one end of the shelf 5 is in contact with the inner side of the sealing block 11, and the side of the shelf 5 away from the partition A2 is in contact with the inner side of the incubator body 1. A rectangular sealing frame 701 is provided on the outer side of the partition B7. A transparent panel 702 of the same size as the sealing frame 701 is hinged to one side of the sealing frame 701. The transparent panel 702 is made of hard and transparent plastic. A handle 703 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the transparent panel 702. A horizontal base plate 704 is fixedly installed in the lower middle of the front of the transparent panel 702. The top of the base plate 704 is fixedly connected to the mounting base of the fan 705. The output end of the machine 705 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the filter box 706. The filter box 706 has a groove, and a filter screen 707 is fixedly installed in the groove. (It should be noted that the filter screen 707 is made of glass fiber, etc., and can filter microparticles with a particle size of less than 1μm, including bacteria and viruses. The partition B7 is a metal material that can generate attraction with the magnetic block.) A round hole is opened on one side of the filter box 706, which is connected to the air inlet on the transparent panel 702 through a pipe. An air outlet is opened on the front side of the transparent panel 702 near the bottom plate 704. A one-way valve 708 is fixedly installed at the air outlet. A magnetic block 7020 for adsorption with the partition B7 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner side of the transparent panel 702.

[0044] Pulling handle 703 disengages magnetic block 7020 from partition B7, allowing transparent panel 702 to open, thus opening observation chamber 8 and pulling out shelf 5. The storage containers for microorganisms are then removed from culture chamber 6, and shelf 5 is quickly returned. At this point, outside air enters both observation chamber 8 and culture chamber 6. Because shelf 5, once opened, can block one end of the shelf in the rectangular hole on partition A2, the amount of outside air entering culture chamber 6 is greatly reduced, thus minimizing its impact on the microorganisms. Transparent panel 702 is then closed, powering fan 705 and allowing outside air to re-enter filter box 706. Filtered by filter screen 707, the air is then delivered to observation chamber 8, where contaminated gas can be discharged through one-way valve 708.

[0045] It should be noted that the wiring, converters, and controllers connecting the fans 705 to each other are all existing technologies. The connection methods for external control equipment are also existing and mature technologies. Therefore, the specific connection relationships will not be described in detail. Existing connection assemblies can be installed for use.

[0046] The implementation principle of a microbial programmed biochemical incubator according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: Pulling the horizontal plate 3 moves the connecting block 4 and the placement plate 5, causing the placement plate 5 to pass through the partition A2, lifting the sealing block 11, and pushing the placement plate 5 into the observation chamber 8. By pulling the handle 703, the magnetic block 7020 is disengaged from the partition B7, causing the transparent panel 702 to open. Then, the transparent panel 702 is closed, and power is supplied to the fan 705, allowing external air to enter the filter box 706 and be filtered by the filter screen 707, and then delivered to the observation chamber 8, so that the contaminated gas in the observation chamber 8 can be discharged through the one-way valve 708.

[0047] The above are merely optional embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Various modifications and variations can be made to this disclosure by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
